It is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from 60 to 80 minutes. The surgical technique is based on each patient`s individuality and the degree of the needed correction. When a minimal contouring is required, the recommended procedure is a double chin liposuction, in order to remove the local fat deposits. This is recommended for patients at a younger age or when the skin hasn`t lost its elasticity. The presence of a sagging skin or so called "Turkey Neck" imposes the necessity of its surgical removal by making an incision under the chin, the reposition of the platysma muscle / when a corset platysmaplasty is planned, the muscles are joint tight together for a better contouring/, carefully removing the excess fat and skin and then sutured with dissolvable threads and cosmetic seam. An elastic bandage is placed and a drainage if needed.

In the post-operative period a slight pain is rarely observed, if necessary a painkillers are prescribed. There is a possibility of a swelling and bruising, which disappears within a few days, and also some numbness in the neck area, which is restored up to three weeks after the procedure.

This procedure is suitable for women and men aged 40 to 80.
